The dreidel, (a spinning top) has become in its way as much a part of Chanukah as the Chanukah menorah, Chanu- kah's central symbol. "Chanukah affirms a sense of unity with all Jewry," says Sylvia Ettenberg, Director of Educational Development at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York. "It is a season for gifts, for games and for entertain- ment." Chanukah celebrates the successful revolt of the Jews against the Seleucid Greeks (Syrians) and their king Antiochus Epiphanes. An- tiochus forbade the Jews from following the Torah. He banned circumcision and had idols erected in the Thmple of Jerusalem. An elderly priest of Modin, Mattathias, and his five sons, organized a rebel- lion which swept aside the Syrian oppressors and led to the Jewish people's national liberation. In 165 B.C.E., the Thmple was recaptured by an army led by Judah Maccabee, the son of Mattathias. The 'Ibm- ple was cleansed and rededi- cated. The Thmple menorah, the eternal flame, was relit. As legend has it, in the process of cleansing the gem- ple, only one sanctified cruse of oil was found: enough for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, enough time for the priests to prepare more oil. Jews throughout the world today continue to kin- dle lights during this eight day period to commemorate the victory of the Maccabees and the miracle of the oil, a metaphor for the miracle of Jewish survival. Perhaps because the Festi- val of Lights is observed not in the synagogue but in the home, the holiday has found its natural expression in play- ing games with family and friends. It often bridges the generation gap between children and parents. "Dreidel" is probably the most popular game. It is said to have its origin in the time of Antiochus. Jews are forbid- den to study Torah. At the ap- proach of his soldiers, Jewish students would hide their books and play dreidel, pre- tending they had only gath- ered to gamble.. This special top has a Hebrew letter on each of its four sides: nun, gimmel, heh, shin, which are the acrostic for Nes gadol hayah sham ("A great miracle happened there"). The Game of Dreidel: The game opens with each player putting an equal amount of money, candy or other mark- ers into the "kitty." Each spins the dreidel. When it stops, the letter on top deter-
